NATICK – Selectmen plan to hold a hearing this month about the temporary relocation from Framingham to Natick of the Logan Express bus service as members worry about traffic flow at the new site and what happened to a project document Massachusetts Port Authority sent the town.

Massport last month temporarily moved its Logan Express bus terminal from Shoppers World in Framingham to a parking lot on MathWorks property off Speen Street. The move, which is expected to last until next spring, will allow Massport to rebuild the Framingham terminal and add parking there.

Selectmen, who plan to hold a hearing at their July 28 meeting on the topic, and Planning Board member Julian Munnich worried Monday about the facility. Munnich said he hopes the topic will go before the Planning Board in the coming weeks.

Selectmen Chairman Josh Ostroff said he drove by last week and worried about traffic flow, including for taxis. Munnich said travel lanes in between rows of parking spaces did not appear to meet specifications to ensure emergency vehicles can get through.

Town Administrator Martha White said town staff visited the site Monday and saw traffic flowing fairly well.

Massport has been responsive to their inquiries, town leaders said.

"I think they’re working with us to resolve (concerns)," Deputy Town Administrator Bill Chenard said.

Massport spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan said Tuesday that workers from her agency have been at the Natick site and have been directing people from Framingham to the new location. The agency has improved notice on its website and worked on improving signs. Staff will continue to make improvements, if possible, as they arise, she said

"We’ve been fully cooperative with Natick officials," she said. "It’s our goal to have this transition go as smoothly as possible."

Garry Holmes, who represents MathWorks on real estate matters, said company leaders hope to provide a service to the community after Massport approached them seeking a temporary home for Logan Express.

He said parking facilities there can handle 1,300 cars and Massport is only using 500 spaces. The rest of the property is expected to remain generally vacant while Massport is there as the property transitions from Boston Scientific to MathWorks, Holmes said.

Meanwhile, selectmen continued to worry about how an environmental notification document from Massport that made it to Town Hall appears to have never reached some town leaders.

Selectman John Connolly called for town counsel to investigate, though the board on Monday did not go forward with that proposal.

Connolly pressed White for answers. White said she does not recall seeing the document and Community Development Director Patrick Reffett was off last week, so she couldn’t consult with him then about the situation.

Ostroff said the board should let White look into the topic before considering an investigation.
